SAR azimuth cut-off to estimate wind speed under high wind regimes
typically used for SAR moderate wind speed estimation purposes
is analyzed under high wind regimes. Firstly
the importance of the pixel spacing
the size of the boxes selected for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image partitioning and the image texture in terms of homogeneities are discussed by considering their influence on the azimuth cut-off (λc) estimation. Secondly
a quality control analysis of the reliability of λc is carried out by evaluating the distance between the autocorrelation functions (ACF) and their correspondent fittings. This analysis points out the importance of filtering out the unreliable and unfeasible λc values in order to improve the wind speed estimation. The quality control procedure is based on a

test
applied on a large Sentinel-1A dataset. The soundness of the test is verified by an increment in terms of correlation between λc estimations and wind speed values.This approach is
then
applied under high wind regimes
i.e.; tropical cyclones.
